I may or may not get all of my popular culture news from Entertainment Weekly

So, uh. Dom Monaghan and Megan Fox beating each other up and making out in an Eminem music video. This is just kind of amazing to me. Song also contains the excellent line "Now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane." Mr. Mathers how did I even survive the past few years without your music.
yes I like Eminem shut up

Also it seems like these Hunger Games books everyone's talking about are written by the lady who did the Underland Chronicles, whose name I'd shamefully forgotten. (Suzanne Collins.) Those books were super cool and underappreciated. I may have to read her new thing now.

Umm. I finally drew that genderswap. It was bad. Not much else to talk about. Maybe I do need to start up another 30 day meme. OTL

EDIT: Oh wait, Pokémon update. Got to Indigo Plateau, benched my Jynx, caught a Heracross instead. Am currently level-grinding and rock-smashing. It's slow work. I'll get there one of these days.

This is one of my favorite songs that Eminem's done for a pretty long time. His wordplay is just astounding. I love his lyrics. I've always loved his lyrics. I don't get why more people don't give him more credit for being so freaking clever.

Hunger Games books...?

Haha, I need to pick my game back up... lately I've just been going to the Safari Zone and trying to catch all those little buggers and neglecting to level up the rest of my team. XD GOOD LUCK LEVEL GRINDING!

Oh fffffff another Eminem fan! <3 I have so much agreement on that point there. I think those people are the sort of people who think all rap is dumb. :|

Yeah, I know as little about them as you do. But apparently they're some big young adult series and they are written by the Underland Chronicles lady so I am going to read them. :B

Meanwhile I totally haven't caught anything in the Safari Zone, mainly because it's so hard to find any cool Pokémon if you don't know where to look for them. And I think they removed the step limit, which makes it feel totally unstructured and I do not like unstructured things SO YES I HAVE TO GO BACK THERE AND CATCH STUFF.

I think so, too. I mean, you can't judge an entire genre on a few artists you don't like. I happen to like rap quite a bit, and I'll listen to all kinds of it, even the foul sexist terrible things. I just think Eminem has a sort of class about him. You can tell in his lyrics that he's actually putting himself out there and not just shooting his mouth off. It's refreshing and somewhat empowering to listen to him. At least, it is for me, haha. XD

I haven't heard of the Underland Chronicles, either. Are they any good?

Yah, they removed the step limit, but they have a limit on the number of balls you can use instead. And it's nifty cause you can change the type of landscape and find different Pokemon. It's good times. 8D I was just glad that I got my Cubone, haha.

Yeah, I'll listen to most things (even country :B), and I don't have a problem with rap as a whole. Eminem is definitely my favorite rapper though, basically because of that class you mentioned. He's not pointlessly vulgar like a lot of the other stuff you see. So yeah. He is cool.

Yes, they are very good books. Severely underrated. They're kind of for a younger audience but I still liked them a lot when I read them. Check them out maybe~

The ball limit doesn't mean much when I am not throwing any balls at anything because they are all stuff I already have. :P I should muck around with that landscape changer, though. Just need to do it when I have Bulbapedia handy. You a Cubone fan, then?
